Hospice launches £50 business chal­lenge

LO­CAL com­pa­nies and or­gan­i­sa­tions are be­ing given the op­por­tu­nity to start the New Year with a bang by sign­ing up for the Tŷ Gobaith Business Chal­lenge.

Team­work and en­tre­pre­neur­ial skills will be keys to mak­ing the most of the ini­tia­tive – which is good for business and for chil­dren and fam­i­lies who rely on Tŷ Gobaith’s vi­tal ser­vices.

Sarah Kears­ley-Wooller, Tŷ Gobaith’s fundrais­ing man­ager said: “The 2015 Business Chal­lenge will see just 100 or­gan­i­sa­tions given £50 and chal­lenged to grow it to as big a do­na­tion as pos­si­ble. This is an ideal op­por­tu­nity to test your in­ge­nu­ity and en­trepreneur­ship, and to build team spirit within your work­place – from cake sales to cof­fee morn­ings, sport­ing chal­lenges to fam­ily fun day.

“The Tŷ Gobaith fundrais­ing team is also com­mit­ted to help­ing you suc­ceed, and to help­ing to pub­li­cise your suc­cess across the re­gion. Above all we want to make this a mo­ti­vat­ing ex­er­cise, bring­ing em­ploy­ees to­gether whilst rais­ing funds to care for lo­cal life limited and life threat­ened ba­bies, chil­dren young adults and their fam­i­lies.”

First to sign up is Gard­ners Ac­coun­tants in Holy­well.

Di­rec­tor David Llewe­lyn Evans said: “Gard­ners is com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing char­i­ta­ble causes and this is a great way to get the whole team in­volved in some­thing fun and chal­leng­ing.

“We haven’t de­cided on a chal­lenge yet, but the firm has a cou­ple of su­per fit run­ners and tal­ented cake bak­ers so it could be en­ter­ing a spon­sored 5K race or an of­fice bake off. Gard­ners is proud to be par­tic­i­pat­ing in the launch of the Business Chal­lenge and we hope other busi­nesses will join us in sup­port­ing the great work done by Tŷ Gobaith.”
